toilet rough in

I am confused as to what the correct answer to this question is.

My basement had a toilet rough in alreadly in place. right behind that is a 2" vent pipe running horizontally so i am forced to place the wall in this spot. in doing so, this leaves me exactly 12" from the stud wall to the center of the toilet pipe.

Now my dilemna is that all the reserch i've done on the internet and information i received from hardware stores employees is telling me that if i use a 12" rough in toilet, the 12" is from the center of the pipe to a finished wall, not the stud.

My plumber is telling me that from his experience, it is 12" from the center of the pipe to the stud wall NOT the finished(drywall) wall.

who is correct? do i listen to the plumber OR to my other sources? the wall behind the toilet is already in place,

please help...
